Description
A charming and well-preserved mid-19th century needlework sampler, dated 1849 and worked by Elizabeth Beaty. This delightful piece features an ornate floral border, decorative vases of flowers, and a central verse reflecting the innocence of youth and contemplation in later years. The lower register depicts a red house flanked by flowering plants and stylised trees, all stitched in vibrant silk threads on a linen ground.
The sampler is housed within a period mahogany fire screen frame with elegant cabriole legs, serving both as protection and as a display piece. The design, subject matter, and craftsmanship are typical of the mid-Victorian era, making it a desirable collector’s item.
